sounds like you are setting yourself up for failure by saying "my first attempt". here's a tip...you need to replace that bad habit with a more constructive one. the patch works great. i used it with great success. but when you have your morning coffee or that late night beer....what is the 1st thing you want to do....smoke, huh. try getting yourself a good supply of sugarless gum. you don't want cavities! good luck...it is mind over matter. and reformed smokers are the worst. after a couple of years i started up again, i know it is out of boredom. but good luck, i need to quit again also, this hackin up blood has me a little concerned.
I quit 3 years ago January 1st after 15 years of smoking. I used the nicotine patch, and jumped on the treadmill every time I had a craving. The bonus to quitting smoking was that as my lungs were clearing I was also getting in shape. It takes dedication, and it's really hard to do, but it's the best gift you can give to yourself. Hang in there, it does get easier!
